Erika Garcia is a woman of many hats - she owns her own flower, veggie, and farm stand called Bloom Country Farms and she also founded Hometown Collective Studios - which focuses on Creative Classes for kids and adults. Their services range from language programs, learning programs, and development programs. 

Erika has created a staple for the local Latino community to find comfort in. She explains that sometimes those can be intimidated by learning a new language for the first time. Working in her studio allows those to feel comfortable while learning at their own pace.

With the East End community changing, we discuss what we can do to stick together as a town to keep ourselves a float in this ever difficult housing and rental market. We discuss topics of life, interests, and personal development.
